    @ Linney Uston

    @LeCastor sentence error...

    ...and decided to fight for the right to have that 70-hour/week job...

    ...while still wanting to be wined, dined and bejewelled on weekends by a man who earns more than they do.

    I fixed your sentence for you.

    You don't have to thank me.

    -- Linney Uston

    I don't want to be wined and dined, and especially not bejewelled, by any man, no matter whether he earns more or less.

    Besides, at what I'm earning, there are only a small class of the i-banker-lawyer-etc. stratum of society that earns more than me. And as more women take over those high-earning jobs, the relative number of men earning that much is in fact shrinking.
